Another year at Oktoberfest...our town's little festival has really grown! Now there are rides and TONS of people. In 2014, there was a petting zoo and a few bounce houses. And look at how little Bowen was-you can see the back of his head!

What I'm Loving:

I love watching my kids do things they enjoy. This season Nixon is playing flag football. He's only had two games so far, but he's really having fun. #andthatswhatitsallabout

What We've Been Up To:

Oktoberfest 2016!

My mom was in town this weekend so she got to experience Oktoberfest for the first time. We had so much fun! These people are all about some carnival rides. We had sauerkraut (my mom and I LOVE sauerkraut), bumped into lots of friends, and enjoyed ice cream. It was a great evening!

What I'm Dreading:

Nothing at the moment.

What I'm Working On:

Light fixture hunt! The front sitting room is almost completely finished. I just have to find a new light fixture. Right now there's an ugly white fan. Ugh!

What I'm Excited About:

This guy will be home this weekend! You know anytime that happens during football season I'm smiling. :)

I'm not really wearing this anywhere YET. I bought this dress in navy for family pictures and I might dress it up for a wedding. I'm only sharing because I thought it was so cute! It has a bell sleeve. The lace is so pretty and it's the perfect length. For size reference, I'm wearing a small.

What I'm Doing This Weekend:

We have a fun family night planned and a special date night as well! WAHOO!

What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month:

All things HALLOWEEN! We just ordered costumes this week. My kiddos are so funny. They always tend to revert to the same things when discussing Halloween costumes....Bowen ALMOST chose a crocodile costume that pretty much looks exactly like the T-Rex pictured above. Nixon went with a VERY similar thing he's been before. Ebby Lee stepped out of her box. :)

That dress is so cute! And have you ever checked out Costco for lighting? Their selection is small - but the prices are SO reasonable and the quality is excellent. (They only sell items that are very high quality, but low priced - which is why the selection is small.) We buy all of our home improvement pieces (lighting, outdoor lights, bath fixtures, etc) there! http://www.costco.com/lighting.html
